Chapter 3

"Good morning, students."

A young lady stood up in front of us and seems to be our professor. She is wearing a white polo shirt tucked in her black slacks and she wears pretty glasses. We greeted her back as we all stood up and she asked us to sit.

"I would like to introduce myself to you all, my name is Miss Remi Shima." She gave us a pretty smile. She looks so young to be our professor. "I will be your professor in your subject of PE3."

For someone who looks like pure Japanese, her accent is quite good. Miss Remi cleared her throat, "Before starting, could everyone please fetch their bags and get to the front? We will have our designated seating arrangements in this class."

Tumayo naman kaming lahat at bitbit ang bag nang makarating kami sa harap ng class room. Nagsimula nang mag-assign si Miss Remi ng seating arrangements sa iba naming kaklase hanggang sa anim na lang kaming natira. 

And I saw a familiar face I didn't think I would ever see here. 

"Drion, Aristen, Harrison, Aguilar, Himura, and Gutierrez." Miss Remi called our surnames and gave us our seating arrangements. We are assigned to sit on the last row on the left side of the room. I'm okay with that. At least, Ishi is a few seats away from me and I don't get to hyperventilate because of uneasiness. 

Naglakad na kaming anim papunta sa assigned seats namin at tahimik na pinanood kami ng lahat. Nang maayos na ang lahat, nagsimula nang mag-discuss agad si Miss Remi sa amin. It was only the first day, so she just discussed the introductions to her subject. 

Let's not forget about Ishi. Okay, first of all, why is she here? Hindi ko naman alam na dito rin pala siya lilipat. So unexpected. Tsaka, ang awkward! Ang uncomfortable kapag may kakilala sa past school na kasama mo ulit dito. Ah, nevermind. 

I diverted my thoughts from Ishi and noticed the girl sitting beside me on my right side. This is the same girl beside me in the open area before! What a coincidence. Naalala ko iyong blonde hair niya kanina kaya napansin ko siya agad. Wow.

"Come on, hurry up. Take us to the second open area." 

Kumunot naman ang noo ko nang marinig ko ang mahinang bulong ng katabi kong lalaki na nasa left side. His surname was Drion, I think? At ano raw? Second open area? May isang open area pa pala?

As if the guy could predict the future, Miss Remi ordered the whole class to go with her to the second open area. My lips parted in shock. How did this guy know what Miss Remi was gonna say?

"Paano mo nalaman iyon?" Nagulat iyong lalaki at napalingon sa akin nang tumayo kami mula sa upuan. Medyo nahiya naman ako bigla dahil sa pagtanong ko. Napatingin na rin sa amin iyong apat na katabi namin habang iyong ibang kaklase namin ay lumalabas na. 

"What do you mean?" he curiously asked instead of answering.

"Iyong ano... ah, nevermind." Hindi ko na lang tinuloy na itanong dahil hindi naman niya sigurong sinadyang ma-predict iyon. Ah basta, ewan. 

Lumabas na kami ng class room at sinundan iyong mga kaklase naming nauna. Dumaan kami sa gilid ng building at ilang layo pa ang nilakad namin bago kami makapunta sa second open area na sinabi ni Miss Remi. 

"Wow." Bumungad sa amin ang open area na kasinglaki lang din ng kanina. Grabe! Seriously, gaano ba kalawak itong school na 'to?

Napatakbo kami dahil nasa malayo na pala iyong karamihan ng mga kaklase namin at ni Miss Remi. Hingal akong nakarating sa pwesto namin. Whew!
